I have a wierd rendering bug in my PRE blocks.

I just updated to 1.6.6 last night from 1.6.4. I have a PRE block that has some AD&D stats from a text file,

(the code blocks do not like my lead space in this example)

Under 1.6.4 it displayed correctly, under 1.6.6 it wrapped the dashed line onto the first line and looks like this;

you can see it on my site at here

The odd thing, it only wrapped that first line, but it is the only line in my data that starts with a dash.

I confirm using the the html pre tag- however the pm code tag [ pre ] works as expected.  However, that is a difference from the 1.6.4 branch, so let me take a closer look.

(Allowed html set to ‘all’ and ‘xhtml’ formatting.)

I think part of the issue is also that it is interpreting double dashes—into some smart html emdash or something.

I _REALLY_ dislike auto-translating ANYTHING inside pre blocks apart from lt/gt’s. grrr.

Its also corrupting my double quotes into “and”...

I need to somehow stop EE from doing anything to what is inside a PRE block.. which afterall stands for “pre-formatted”..

I re-saved my entry as formatting “none” from xhtml and it didn’t “smartly” auto-interpret my double dashes, quotes etc.

This also makes my pre blocks show up exactly as they should.

Right- it’s parsing inside the pre and code tags (unless you use pm code).  It shouldn’t touch it in either.  This one is about wrapped up, but still tweaking the handling of html comments, which are also getting parsed.  So need to get that smoothed out.  Hopefully I’ll report back shortly with a wrap up.

(Note- turning the formatting to ‘none’ means EE doesn’t alter the content at all (aside from allowed html/security issues.)

That was a longer wait than I’d prefer!  The fix is now in for the next build, and I’m going to drop you an email with a few details on it.  Thanks for your patience on this one!
